Sing Out Your Inner Diva

I have been feeling icky lately. Eating food, disconnected, out of sorts and weird. Like a sense of foreboding. I am performing on Thursday and that could be it but it is definitely mine because when I ask "who does this belong to" it just persists...a nagging feeling.

This morning I spent lots of time writing about this. I practiced my breathing exercises - into my pelvis while picturing a peaceful place that relaxes me and makes me feel safe.

I then did some of my coaching homework - List all the ways I'm valuable and contribute to other people and the world just by being me. Define what fame and success means to me. When I would feel like I was disconnecting I would go back to the breathing exercises and forge on.

While I was getting ready for my day, I decided to put on some music. I have created a play list that energizes me for just these moments. Songs that inspire, uplift, excite and bring out my inner DIVA! It was quite powerful. Normally I hate watching myself perform, sing, speak, etc. But as I lip synced each of these songs, I embodied the divas that were singing.

Songs like ...

Cant Hold Us Down - Christina Aguilera
Happy Face - Destiny's Child
I'm a Bomb and If You're Gonna - Natasha Bedingfield
One Girl Revolution - Super Chick

So even though I still have that icky feeling in my stomach I am feeling powerful and empowered. Strong and sexy. Flirty and fabulous.

And when a woman is feeling like that she doesn't need to eat cake to feel good about herself.

What songs inspire you? What gets your blood pumping and connects you to your inner diva?

There's a lot of love in this world today. Food isn't one of them.
